Notably, Singh expressed a commitment to not only containing but eradicating terrorism from the region. One of the aspects highlighted by Singh is the reinforcement of the border security grid which he described as being much stronger than ever. He said, “This strengthening has been achieved through the incorporation of innovative and potent elements aimed at neutralising any endeavors by terrorists to infiltrate into J&K with arms and narcotics. This adaptive approach signifies a proactive stance by the security agencies to counter evolving threats effectively.”

Rajouri and Poonch districts recently witnessed multiple encounters in which many terrorists were eliminated. Speaking with media during the foundation-laying ceremony of the Anti-Corruption Bureau headquarters in Sidhra, the DGP said, “Though the infiltration attempts are going on, we do not see an upward trend.”
